A drunken off-duty cop in clown makeup was arrested last week after police say she reportedly slapped a fellow officer as she tried to gain entry into a nightclub.
Karina Salgado, 30, was arrested early Friday morning on charges including criminal trespassing, battery, and resisting or obstructing an officer, according to the Chicago Police Department.
Officers responding to the 3700 block of North Broadway for a report of a woman who kept trying to enter a bar after repeatedly being turned away found Salgado decked out in Halloween makeup that resembled “Pennywise” the clown, WBBM-TV reported.
When officers found Salgado, they told her she could not enter the establishment. Police say she then struck an officer in the face with an open hand.
Law enforcement sources told the news outlet that Salgado was intoxicated at the time of the incident.
Salgado has since been moved to a non-emergency role at the department pending the outcome of an investigation.

3700 North Broadway is right in the middle of Newtown, aka Boys Town. Mostly LBGTQX clubs. Cop station on Addison (3600 N). Also close to Wrigley Field. “Use of unnecessary violence in the apprehension of the Blues Brothers has been approved.”
Second City Cop Blog had a thread on it, some comments by her fellow officers.
Like the old saying goes.....I just have to run faster than you ...haha. .:-D
That chick is in her own special category,
Did she slap him with a comically oversized, white glove?
Well she has one thing going for her .... she didn’t shoot anyone’s 12 week old attack puppy.
Now if you want to expand background checks, I see a possible place to start ... remember she carries a gun and their is no background check after it is first issued ... think she could pass a background check now?
She’s no Harley Quinn but, yeah, I’d hit it...
Yeah. There is that.
But, the day is young.....
She'd probably have gotten away with it if she hadn't used the big shoe to do the slapping.
